We were in this establishment for dinner this evening. We were greeted by a very busy lady who showed us to a table. She seemed to be a one woman show. Bless her heart she ran nonstop for the whole time we were there. We all (4 of us) ordered different things and we were all very pleased with the results of our ordering! The food was hot and fresh. Very tasty, very tasty indeed!!! We really enjoyed our meal together! Peace be with you all Sherri read more

I think I got the dinner combo. I think it comes with fried rice, spring roll, crab puffs, your choice of meat, and tea. I ordered crab puffs for appetizers so I guess that's why they decided not to give me one for the combo meal. I asked the server what's in the seafood soup and she replied rudely and said "it's seafood it's American" ummm ok Place looks old and rundown. The fried rice is just all seasoning in it and maybe a splash of eggs. This place will be my first and last but it was ok for a Chinese place in Merica. read more

Quick Summary for Those Who Don't Want to Read Everything: * Large birthday dinner for an 80th birthday * Party of about 26 people * Cold food * Had to ask for water and it was never refilled * Server was irritated, scoffed, and interrupted us * Repeated reminders about tipping felt inappropriate * Overall uncomfortable experience * We will not be returning My family dined here to celebrate my aunt's 80th birthday. We chose this restaurant because it is her favorite place to share meals with her sister, and it felt meaningful to host the celebration here. Approximately 26 family members attended. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing, and we will not be returning. We value supporting local businesses, so it is especially unfortunate that we cannot continue supporting a restaurant in our hometown. Our section of the party spent about $95.00 and received cold food and very poor service. While we understand that servers do not need to be personally invested in our celebration, we do expect basic courtesy and professionalism, especially when the restaurant was informed well in advance that this was a large birthday gathering. The server's behavior made it clear that she did not care about the event or the experience of our table. When I went to the front to pay my tab, the server appeared stressed and visibly irritated, including by my presence while paying. She did not speak to me during the transaction other than to remind me that the tip was not included. While I briefly stepped away from the table, the server returned and told the rest of our group that tips were to be left in the middle of the table. We were not initially given water and had to ask for it. Once brought, our waters were never refilled. Several dishes were served completely cold. Throughout the evening, the server scoffed at us multiple times and interrupted our conversations, which made the dinner uncomfortable and took away from what should have been a meaningful family celebration. Lots of my loved ones are restaurant owners and servers and I have so much respect for them. I hope this restaurant supports this server. Overall, this was an awful experience, and we will not be coming back. read more

The food is bland and extremely mediocre. The so called "crab puffs" had essentially no crab in them and were basically just cream cheese. The dipping sauce provided is ketchup with sugar and soy sauce. My food was ready pretty which made up for the blandness of it. read more

We have eaten here countless times in the past 11 years and YES during Covid they saved us a few times, we will always come here! Local iconic traditional Chinese American food at competitive prices never had a bad meal here EVER. That's so great to be able to say that. Staff is always smiling warm comfy great booths and tables excellent tea and lots to choose from. Highly recommend the crab puffs on appetizers plate ! my hubby came here as a kid and ate burgers when he was not quite ready for new foods. lol. Bring your groups come back for the food you won't be hungry after and you'll be glad to support this wonderful family place. read more

So happy this place is still around! It was my fave every weekend growing up and it hasn't changed. Still very tasty, portion sizes and price are great. Hardly ever busy so you get seated right away and the service is great too. So many good things. read more

Americanized Chinese food is not something I eat often as I do prefer eating traditional Chinese food. Though occasionally, I'll eat some Americanized Chinese food. I got a chance to try their combos and to my surprise it was good and with no MSG. Kung Pao Chicken has a great amount of chicken, vegetables, peanuts and spice! The combo was a good portion, came with 5 pieces of fried shrimp, 4 crab puffs, good amount of fried rice and almond chicken-chow mein. I was able to substitute egg roll for fried rice! The almond chicken had a nice flavor with the mixture of vegetables. The crab puff and shrimp was crispy and not oily. This is a great family-owned business, they really care about the customers and the food they serve. They are open for pick up, just order via phone & delivery through door dash. They are taking all the precautions they can to ensure the safety and well-being of the customers. read more

Quiet calm atmosphere. Excellent food and amazing service. This place is my new go to for Chinese food.

it took awhile before I tried this place, it always looked deserted when we drove by. but order this on a whim. usually if we are with the step kid we order one of family combinations, plenty of leftovers afterwards. i love love the fried rice, I dunno why, I crave it. we do sometimes call ahead since we dont live that far from here. the lady that works there is very friendly, 10/10 would would definitely eat here again. if by myself, I usually order the combination 9 and fried wonton. read more

Decent Chinese food, good prices, and great/friendly service-fast too. I recommended the family style dinner- appetizer plate, soup, tea, and plenty of food to feed everyone plus leftovers! read more

We were in the area and we were craving lemon chicken and sweet and sour pork. So we decided to give this place a chance. Lets just say if you want real lemon chicken don't go here. Their "lemon sauce" is just sweet and sour sauce with a piece of lemon in it..... they taste the same. Sounds like they just add stuff to their menu that they can't even make. read more

A very enjoyable dinner. I prefer the chow mein with bean sprouts and they do a lovely job of it . Friendly staff and my roommate loved her shrimp fried rice. read more

It was pretty good for my first time. Very prompt service and the food was good. A great menu offering everything Chinese you can think of. I'll need to go back a second time ! read more

I been coming here for over 20 years they have never disappoint me. The food is always good and I love the egg flower soup

We haven't had a lot of luck finding Chinese food we enjoy in the area. We did take-out it was ready when promised & was pretty good. Don't feel like we found the perfect spot but we enjoyed our order. read more

It's interesting to read other reviews. I've travelled the world. Including China from Beijing to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The food her is all American based Chinese food and put together very well. It tastes fresh and cooked to order. The seasoning is perfect. They don't use salt in China, so it's nice to have just enough for flavor. If you complain about the food or service, you never came for American Chinese food. Enjoy every experience. read more

Ordered takeout and they must have prepared it an hour early. I scheduled for 530 pickup. Got the the food home and literally could not eat the food. Warmed it up and still not edible. Egg foo yung was horrid. Fried rice was a solid block shaped like the container. Appetizer plate had shrimp and crab puffs that were so old and dried up . BBQ pork was good. We hadn't ate there in a few years and will not be going back to them . 60 bucks wasted is a one time deal. read more

They have coupons on their website that they will no honor. Come on... Are the prices on the website menu accurate? Is it really that hard to keep your web site updated? ... read more

We love the food here. The egg rolls are crisp and delicious. The crab puffs and bbq pork are a must have for me! The staff is friendly, the food comes out nice and hot. They are pretty good on accepting substitutions on the combo meals (they may charge a couple dollars, but most places do) We have ordered during the Covid 19 shutdown for take out, and it was quick and easy, the food was perfect. It is one of our favorite Cantonese / Asian places. read more

I don't know how this place is because I ordered from Yelp who didn't tell me that GrubHub did not deliver to the address I was at. But the food was ready on time. Only wish I would've gotten to taste it also never got my money back from GrubHub, yelp or anybody absolutely no help was given, so do not order off yelp. read more

Had the special combination dinner with a few substitutions and it came out just as we ordered. The chow mien was really good. Big portions and plenty of sauces. Also ordered the number 3 combo, again with substitutions, again just as ordered. Loved the fried shrimp. The staff was super friendly. read more

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. We had S/S chicken, kung pow, szechuan beef and egg roles.

Wouldn't recommend chow mein... But fried rice and everything else has been solid. Recommend at least trying it read more

I used to come here when I was younger with my parents most every Sunday afternoon. So my wife and I tried the lunch buffet. I'm sure there are new owners now but it looks, feels, & tastes exactly like I remembered it! I think the furniture is even the same. LoL The food was fresh & good. The staff was very friendly and I still enjoy watching the water fountain in the open garden at the center of the building. Nothing fancy, just some good local Chinese food! read more

We love this place. Super nice people and always big portions. The won ton soup is one of our favorites and though we are on a budget we try to support them once a week just to help keep their doors open. Please help us keep them open. read more

Day of DISCOVERY!!!! We have been looking for almost a year for a good Chinese Restaurant since our previous favorite place sadly retired....Tonight we found our new place. The food was piping hot, fresh, and a very generous quantity. More food than any one person can eat at once! Good for us because we have left overs for a day or two. Highly suggest!! read more

I've been exploring local restaurants and noticed a sign out front declaring new ownership. I was surprised at how big the place was inside. There is a nice cozy bar with a cute and friendly bartender. I'd say the food is average or above compared to other Americanized Chinese Food restaurants in Clark County. The crab puffs were particularly tasty. Perhaps because the place is so big, the staff uses carts with high quality wheels to speed around as they clear the tables. It's kind of entertaining to see how fast they go. If you want really good Asian food I believe you still have to go into Portland, but if you need a quick fix of sweet and sour pork, this place will do the job. read more

Much better than it used to be. Fresh food and I don't have to leave town to get Chinese food any more. Nice owners and great service. I am really happy with the new look and better tasting food. read more

We have eaten there twice. One time before they changed over to new Owners and then again with New owners. We have learned to quit going there expecting to get good food. Seems the Bar is the only thing that keeps this place open. Save Your money and go to the Safeway Deli. read more

So the bad reviews are way harsh....Came from the midwest, where Szechuan was king. We aren't very accustomed to all the other teriyaki, thai, pho places and have steered away. Finally tried Chinese Garden today. Ordered online, which we discovered doesn't work correctly upon arrival. Staff was apologetic and helpful and had the order out quickly once it was discovered what happened. Food portions are huge and meat/veggie balance is spot on. Moo goo gai pan was good with or without extra soy sauce. Kung Pao beef good, but could use extra spice. Husband's going to try adding sriracha when it's time for leftovers. Plain fried rice is tasty, and a "cup" order is more than sufficient for us both. Crab puffs are skimpy on the filling. I'd rather pay the same price for 6 plump puffs than 10 skinny wrappers. Haven't dipped into the ham fried rice except to taste a few pieces of ham from the top, which were pretty tasty. Even better, they put quite a few fortune cookies and tiny tea packets in the condiment bag. In reviewing the menu, if you are someone who can't decide on which meat to get in your dish, there are 'family' meals with ALL the meats in them. Overall a great lunch. Will return. read more

It's cleaner than the old Chinese Garden and the food is not as greasy. But there are better options for Chinese or Asian within minutes.

Like others I hat eto give bad reviews, but the public deserves an honest review. I had high hopes when walking in to this restaurant. I love all types of Chinese food, mom and pop places, fusion, chains, delivery, homemade. But the food here was far from appetizing or almost edible. The shrimp had not even had the veins removed. I wish there was a rebound on the service side. Yes, everyone was friendly, but it was hard to get service, drinks, and the bill. I'm usually one to give a place a second chance, but not in this case. read more

I was kind of surprised to see this place get such a low rating. My family and I have been going to Chinese Garden ever since we moved to the area in 2001. We take family and friends that visit here all the time and people love it. Our favorite regular entree dishes are: Happy Family, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Green Bean Beef, Pork Lo Mein and the General Tso's Chicken (though we get it without the spicy stuff). The vegetables in the dishes are fresh and crispy. The meats are tender and juicy. The staff is always very friendly. We've come here so much over the years that several of the wait staff (they don't have a lot of staff turnover which is nice) remember that I like my ice water with lots of ice and I always like a side of sweet and sour sauce to dip my food in, so they usually bring them without my even having to ask. The food is always fresh and hot and the portions are big. When we go for dinner, we always get our regular entrees, mentioned above, for the three of us. We eat at the restaurant and then take the rest home and get at least two more meals out of it. All for under $50. I also like their all-you-can-eat lunch buffet during weekdays. Everything is fresh and they are very vigilant to be sure the food is stocked up. They don't make big batches of the foods at one time, so it seems like they are constantly bringing fresh stuff out. If you want anything refilled you just have to ask. It's not a very big buffet, but it seems to have most everyone's favorites. All you want for under $7 a person. The decor is old and boring, but the place is clean. read more

I ended up here on accident as I thought it was the 4 star in Washougal. I chose poorly. I got takeout so I didn't know how bad it was until I arrived home. Sweet and Sour Chicken: If you like to have your chicken soggy in a red soup then this is your place. If you prefer to dunk your chicken in the sauce (like most Chinese restaurants) then don't even think about getting it here! Orange Chicken: See above. I can handle it being tossed in the sauce, but it might as well have been soup. Sesame Chicken: At least they didn't go overboard on the sauce...wait...there wasn't any sauce. $30 down the drain...literally. To end on a positive note, I waited less than 10 minutes for the food. read more

Stopped by on my way home from the doctor's. Ordered Pork fried rice and General Tso' chicken. Fried rice had the texture of mush and the pork smelled rancid. General Tso's chicken was not any better. If you like GOOD Chinese go elsewhere. If you like thier food, good. I don't, won't be back. read more

Well their prices are pretty hi, got a hot n sour soup and 3 egg rolls cost me over $20.00. Soup was good egg rolls ahhhh. Kitchen looked like it had box's and stuff stacked all over the place. Expensive Chinese choice. read more

It is nice to have a non-crowded chinese restaurant every now and then. This place is pretty big with a very old building feel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have been here quite often recently and there has never been a wait with maybe 6 other groups already seated. I enjoy a quiet dinner sometimes! The portions are huge and the prices are good for the most part. Plus there is a wide selection on the menu. Sodas are semi-expensive with only one free refill! At least the hot tea comes with the combos! I normally always get the sweet and sour chicken or the cashew chicken combo. They haven't let me down yet with those meals. The people I have gone with had some iffy experience with their food though. It seems like it was hit or miss though. I guess just be prepared if you ever come here! I guess I dont have any huge complaint for the 1 of 2 chinese restaurants of Washougal! (= I just seem to have had better chinese food at other places... read more

I moved to the Camas/Washougal area a couple years ago from Vancouver and one thing I really missed was the amount of options for Chinese food so when I discovered this place existed right down the street from our new place I thought I might have just hit the jackpot. Unfortunately I was severely mistaken. The food here might just be the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. It's bland and fairly tasteless, soggy, slimey and just plain gross! The building looks very old and outdated which isn't that big of a deal really except that it also seems fairly unclean, even for an older Chinese restaurant. I've tried them out several times, (went with some friends, ordered take out, tried out the bar) hoping for a better experience but every time is the same. The only positives are the low wait time, (you won't have to wait long to get your bad food!) and the bar. As many other reviewers have stated, the bar is VERY divey and dark, (in a good way, if you like that sort of atmosphere). When I ate in the bar I couldn't really see my food and as Leah N. stated, I think that is probably on purpose! Drinks were good though, strong and priced fairly. If the food was even just slightly better I might actually recommend this to Chinese food lovers living in the Camas/Washougal area but I simply can't. If you want good, or even decent Chinese food you will have to go to Vancouver or Portland. read more

One word: TERRIBLE! Save your money. Save your time. Save your appetite. Spare you digestive system. We have tried this place twice. Once should have been enough but we believe in second chances. We order 3 fairly common dishes one of those being chicken fried rice. Certainly that's a dish that can't be bad. It's such a common dish. Wrong! It was the worst tasting fried rice I have ever tasted. I could have done better making it in my own kitchen with no recipe, blind folded with my hands tied behind my back. Yes, it was that bad! I will say the egg roll was decent. So if you are looking for a good egg roll and prepackaged fortune cookies, this is your place. For anything else, don't even stop and contemplate eating here. Wish I could get my money back. :-p read more

I don't think I have ever actually sat down & ate here. I always order to go. The food has always been really good. I love their Hawaiian chicken, it's so good & usually what I always order. I've been in their bar before to meet friends for a drink. Good, really strong drinks. The inside is a little sketch looking. But I have always had good food, quick, great service! read more
